Is this Truly your Mega Fishing RIB

This video is an introduction of the Centaure 750 XL Rigid Inflatable Boat, showcasing its latest technology and innovations. Earlier I’ve posted a video of a smaller version tackling the waves and nearly sinking (check it here).

It features a deep V-hull with reinforced structure, and stainless steel protection to safeguard during water exit and entry.

A powerful 350-horsepower Mercury Verado is mounted on a strong aluminum bracket, enhancing performance and fuel efficiency.

You can easily walk around and it has the largest console in the Centaure range for comfortable navigation.

GPS, VHF system, and audio setup enriches the boating experience.

The Mega Fishing RIB is quipped with a sea water pump to clean catch and boat on the water, simplifying maintenance.

Ulman’s shock-absorbing seats offer superior comfort in rough seas. It is the world leading brand.

Sturdy stainless steel arch supports multiple functions, such as towing skiers and mounting equipment should you feel like it.

So do you think it is the Mega Fishing RIB?

This video was published on the Côt&Pêche TV Magazine YouTube channel. I must say they did an excellent job.

So proud to share that Ullman Dynamics is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.

RAFNAR 40 2×400 Mercs and Ullman Echelon Seats

The Icelandic Rafnar Brand

Rafnar boats utilize the ÖK Hull (video), an Icelandic innovative hull and keel design that significantly reduces slamming impact by up to 95%.

This results in a remarkable dynamic stability and sea-keeping capabilities, even in the toughest marine environments (video).

Rafnar boats are engineered for the most challenging conditions at sea with a steadfast commitment to ensuring the highest levels of comfort and safety for passengers and crew.

And in that setting Ullman seats are very essential as well (video).

This video was published on the Ullman Seats YouTube channel.

So proud to share that Ullman Dynamics is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.

Build of Chaterina D Rescue RIB

The Chaterina D Rescue RIB is a Sight to See

Over the upcoming years, the KNRM will retire its Atlantic 75 rescue boats after years of dedicated service, often under demanding conditions.

This inaugural rescue Rigid Inflatable Boat will commence operations this year (2024) under the auspices of KNRM Vlieland.

Following suit, each subsequent step will witness the systematic replacement of all Atlantic 75-class rescue boats with the advanced Chaterina D model.

This Rescue RIB has an aluminium hull and has a wider deck space than the Atlantic 75.

Thank you to the KNRM and all other rescue services for watching our backs.
